Tottenham\u2019s forgotten man Richarlison has been hailed for his attitude after he scored for under-21s on Tuesday. Richarlison has not played for the first team since an opening-day defeat at Brentford <\/a>on 22 August after he was left out of the 25-man Premier League squad list, having been told he was not part of the plans for this season.<\/p>\n

Failed moves to Trabzonspor and Vasco da Gama, after talks with Everton collapsed in the final days before the transfer window in England shut, have left Richarlison in limbo for the first half of the campaign. However, the Brazil international made a surprise appearance in the Jersey Mike\u2019s (EFL) Trophy tie at Cheltenham<\/a>. He scored after 56 minutes in a 2-2 draw and converted a spot-kick in a 7-6 penalty shootout loss.<\/p>\n

The Cheltenham manager, Steve Cotterill, told Gloucestershire Live<\/a>: \u201cWe weren\u2019t expecting it. When I found out he was on the team sheet, I was actually chuffed with that. It gives our lads a glimpse of what it\u2019s like at that top level.<\/p>\n

\u201cRicharlison\u2019s attitude was immaculate tonight. He was really, really good and his attitude was great. He could have easily come down here and thought: \u2018I am not too bothered about tonight.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a decent crowd here, but he\u2019s used to playing in front of 60,000 every week \u2013 when he gets picked anyway. It was great for our lads to play against someone of his stature. I really enjoyed tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Richarlison\u2019s fine first-time finish in the 56th minute, Tottenham\u2019s academy players joined him in performing his pigeon celebration. He later posted on Instagram: \u201cHappy to do what I love the most in life. I was missing it!\u201d<\/p>\n
